Laptop Question

[Ai1234]

I originally posted this in the Laptops thread in the Deals section, but since I am not really posting a deal I am copying it here as well. Apologize for the duplicate post.

How would you compare the following 2 laptops? Price aside, which is a better laptop and why? TIA.

Better to post post question in that thread (that's kind of what its for) than to open a new thread.

Ok, thanks. I posted it here as after thought since that thread is under "deals". I'll try removing this thread. thanks.

The HP is thinner, lighter (so if you want it for portability it might be important), and has a 4K screen.

Brand new, never been turned on.  Box was open but still in sealed bag.

How much is a reasonable price to pay for this device ?

[Yisroel Tech]

I'd say about $400

Really? That much?

Yes, judging by the market price and my own feel.

You must understand that not everything is about raw specs. While I didn't say you should buy this specific device, and a simple consumer Dell Inspiron with the latest i5 and double the RAM may be the same price. Still, this is a business device, it is a pretty sturdy and durable one, coming with Windows Pro (again, not that you should care, but in some situations this is a must) and more.

Thanks. Was just looking for an idea. Not buying. Selling for a neighbor. Def hear your points.

So, in your case, it might not be worth for a neighbor that much (spec wise I'd give it $325 or so).

Trying to sell it 'for' him but yes. I got it. It's worth around there for someone who wants those specific things.
